see how it would have that effect. In
this county at present it is generally ad
mitted on the part of those who are com
petent to judge, that the one great desid-
eratum of our county road system, to
make it effective, is skilled superintend-
ent at the head of it to direct its opera
tions throughout the county and see that
the labor upon the roads is not thrown
away, as it is for the most part under the
present management But the county
commissioners, with the taxable basis of
the whole county to levy upon, do not
think themselves able to employ such
skilled superintendent at prese.'. And
they are no doubt wise in their copclusion,
for it will be better to wait awhile until
by economy they are enabled to discharge
some of the heavy obligations handed
down to them by the mismanagemento of
their predecessors, before they increase the
appropriation to the public roads.
If, therefore, the whole county as local
community finds itself scarcely able to or
ganize a properly equipped and skilled
road corps, it is difficult to see how a
smaller community with less resources to
draw upon could do better.

Jury Trials in Appeal Cases.

We overheard remark, few days ago,
made by gentleman familiar with our
expensive court sessions and small results
accomplished, to the effect that he would
like to 60 TO the Constitutional Coaven-
tion as a member when it assemblies, that
he mi ght amend our constitution and do
There is more reason for the wish express
ed than appears to the casual remark
standing alone. For the past seven days
the court has been engaged in the tri!l by
jury of appeal cases with less than two
hundred dollars involved in all the cases,
an amount not half so large as the costs
the county will be obliged to pay in con
sequence of their trial by Jury, and an a
mount xot greater than the suitors them
selves will be obliged to pay whether sue
cessful or not.
Nor will it, we appr. hend, be contended
thai justice has been meted out to the liti
sants in a greater degree than if The trials
had been before the Judge instead OF the
jury. If the suitors have not been bene
fitted, and the trial of few petty cases,
largely the result of personal feuds, has
cost the county a thousand dollars, why
continue jury trials of petty cases. The
answer will probably be that trial by jury
is one of the most iuestimable rights OF
the people. Is it to the extent indicated
an inestimattle right? The peop'e are the
suitors and the people pay the taxes to
defray the expense Of the trial. II they
(the people, pay more for justice than it is
worth, and such justice as they often get,
Jury trials in petty cases look more like es
timated wrongs than inestimab'e rights.
We don't mean to be understood as say
ing that we pay too much for abstract jus
tice. il it was always obtained at the hands
of the ordinary jury aud there was no 9th
er way to get it; nor that in any way The
liberties of the people should be curtailed
for the saving of a few thousand do lars.
II we lived in the ferocious age Of he
Stuarts. and our courts were dominated
by Jetfreys, when justice was bought and
sold as were sheep in the shambe es, no
price would be too great to pay fer jury
trials even in petty cases. But We live in
no such age and our courts are presided
over bv no such men. nor are they likely
to he while the people possess and intelli-
gently exercise the right Of suffrage.
The Constitutional Convention when
assem- bled will have To deal largely with
economic questions Next in importance
to that of raising revenue from corpora
tions not now taxed, is that Of reducing
the expenses Of our expensive judiciary
system, and the suggestion of our friend
to limit trials by jury tends in that drec

Henry Ward Beecher.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher died at the
home of his brother in Brookly on Tues
day morning at half-past nine o'clock -
He was stricken with appop'exy on Fri
day and remained unconscious up to the
time of his death. Mr.. Beecher was one
of the mos noted men of his time and vas
essentially self made, having arisen from
obscurity by be force of his own native
talents and energy His school Of theol-
ogy was peculiar to itself. Without
claiming communion with any OF the vari-
Gus sects of christianity, he nevertheless
taught the doctrines of the bible upon a
broad and liberal Interpretation. In
American politics he exercised large
and extended influence; but his political
opnions were always tinctured with a
fanaticism born of an emotional nature
and somewhat faulty judgment.
The following editorial comments OF
the New York Sun upon the life and char
acter of the disting Iished preacher are.
perh ps just epitaph to be inscribed on
the tablet of his memory:
ale was a man of splendid abilities and
an extraordinary variety of qualities and
talents. The lot Of his birth led him to
the profession of a clergyman, but he
would have been successful as An actor, a
Jury lawyer, or a public orator in any line
where severe logic is not required He
possessed an emotional, dramatic nature
with a teeming imagination and great
sense of bumor. He was a wit, senti-
mentalist and most entertaining com
panion. But his judgment was faulty and
erring. and he was supremely selfish and
defective in the moral sense. In the fer
vor of his desires the distinction of right
and wrong disappeared. In force OF viii
no man could exceed him. OF this power
he made most impressive display dur
ing the latter part Of his life. His tria
ended in disagreement of the jury, while
the community believed him guilty. Bu
he faced the situation without fiinching
and maintained his position like Hercu
les. 1t was wonderful effort of audacit,
and selfcontrol, and the fruit of it is seer
in the adherence of many who would 9th
erwise have turned their backs, and in th
elaborate enlogies that attend his demise
It IS not necessary to recall the painful de
tails of his career Magnifcently endowed
as he was, great in his powers, if not ii
his sins. he has at last completed his jour
ney. and his rest will never be broken b.
voice of earth again.

Under the civil service rules of the gov

positions for worthy and competent Dem
ocrats without passing some kind of civil
service examination. We do not believe
in the civil service that will keep Repub-

requires an examinaIi ion of all Democrats
who may desire to get positions. These

TrOtter Confirmed.

Notwithstanding all the predictions to
the contrary, at the last executive session
of the Senate. Trotter, the colored man
from Massachusetts, was confirmed as Re-
corder of Deeds for the District of Colum-
bia. This turn about of the Republican
Senators. by which this result was accom-
plished, is said to be owing to the Massa-
chusetts Senators as to the effect of the
colored vote of that State should Trotter
be turned down. Advices which have
come from Massachusetts within the last
two days are very convincing that the
Massachusetts, Senators did not at al un-
derestimate the situation. 1t is learned
that several of the most prominent and in
fuential of the colored republicans Of the
State had openly declared their intention,
in the event f Trotter's rejection, to take
the stump against the Republican party
in the approaching guberna,orial cam
paign. As it is, it is said that large
proportion of the colored vote will 90 to
the Democratic candidate if judicious
nomination will be made. While this,
perhaps, is no consolation for the District
democracy, it might possibly be consider
ed by others as good move in politics to
secure the balance of power in such a
comparatively closely contested State as
Massachusetts has come to be.
There is no doubt that the muddle which
has grown up over the confirmation of the
colored recorder of deeds in the District
OF Columbia, however distasteful the whole
matter may have been to the people of the
District, will bear good political fruit. It
has served to show up forciby the insin
cerity of the Republicans in their pretend
ed friendship for the negro. The more
observing and intelligent leaders of the
colored element North and South have not
failed to note this clearly manifested in
consistency on the part of the Republican
Senators, and more than one Of them have
expressed themselves freely on the subject.
- izssIazaz -
Every one wno hss OUs5fSo1 TFe pFa9-
tices of the Repubublican party knows
that they took up the negro merely as s
hobby, and whenever it comes to pass that
they can use him no longer to advantage
as a political tool, they have no further
use for him. Their final surrender in this
matter, after such stubborn resistance,
came in very bad grace indeed, and will
probably do little toward setting them
right with the much offended coloEed cit
izens, while the administration vii come
out with f1Ying colors.
